Hey Everyone!
I haven''t really posted here all that much, eventhough I''ve been lurking here A LOT! I''m becoming more and more addicted to this place.
My boyfriend has agreed to buy me some nice diamond studs for christmas, and I''m over the moon
. So I''ve started peeking at diamonds, and I think I want something in the .8-1.0 ctw range.
I came across Excel diamonds, and they seem to have really good prices. But I would also love to go with Whiteflash, since I''ve heard very good things about their remarkable service. Then only thing I''m unsure about is paying a premium for the ACA. I don''t know if i''m omfortable doing that, since I want the biggest bang for my BF''s buck. I''d happily pay it for an ER, but I don''t know about studs. I feel kind of confused, do You think it''s worth it for studs? Isn''t it enough if they''re "just" ideal Cut/H&A?
I found some ideal cut H&A diamonds that were .5 ct each, I/J, SI1/SI2 for $900-$1000.
I found 1 diamond on the WF website that fits my criteria, an Expert Selection, .5 ct, I, VS2, and it''s $1457
Do You think there''ll be a big difference in sparkle-factor between an ACA and an Ideal Cut H&A? Should I go with Excel or WF?
And also, are there any Excel-customers here? could You please tell me about Your experience buying from them!? I''d appreciate it alot.
I''d appreciate any help or advice that i could get....
